Height Matters
Fall damage is an essential, life-threatening factor in WoW Classic. Time and again, you find yourself on mountains or looking into deep ravines. Sometimes you even have to venture onto tall treetops. You balance on bridges, travel with elevators, or jump to a lower level to shorten a path or confuse aggressive opponents.
Some classes are less dangerous here than others. Rogues learn Safe Falling at level 40, for example, reducing fall damage. Mages get the Slow Fall spell, priests get their Levitate. Paladins can jump anywhere with their Divine Shield. So there are means and ways to slow down or survive the fall.
Nevertheless, inexperienced and inattentive WoW players have died and continue to die from fall damage. This can happen particularly quickly when one wants to escape a dangerous situation in a panic and literally jumps to one’s own demise.
The elevators of Azeroth have developed such a deadly reputation over the decades that some hardcore groups even swear off every elevator transition. No wonder: anyone who is even a moment too late becomes a victim of the torturous gravity: Twitch streamer from Sauercrowd arrives just a second too late, learns about one of WoW’s “deadliest bosses”
